Today's Readings and Stuff-- Tuesday, 11 August 2020

Another "fun" day, as was yesterday.  Wife completed her course of the antibiotics first thing yesterday, still felt dreadful, so we called doctor.  To be informed that he wasn't in nor going to be all day.  But that an effort would be made to contact him and pass the message.  Never heard back.  All too typical, and not just during this "Chinese flu" pandemic. 

OK.

So, this morning, we called again.   To be informed that he wouldn't be in today either. No other information.  We were able to learn that their "walk in clinic", note: not the "urgent care" that is also open but charges a co-pay beyond our means, is open again.  So, off we went, a good distance but doable.  To be archly informed that she couldn't go in if she is sick!!  I guess only healthy people are allowed in.  Sound stupid to you??  Me too.  So, headed back home.  While enjoying route, Wife called doctor office to pass the info to them.  At which time, she was informed that, last night!, doc had called in a prescription to our pharmacy of a different antibiotic.  Neither the doctor nor his office nor the pharmacy had bestirred themselves to let us in on it.  So she called the pharmacy.  All of this while we're flying down the highway.  At which point, pharmacy confirmed the order, told us it was ready in fact, and when were we picking it up?  So I dropped Wife at home.  Went Across The Line, picked up the new drug, came home.  Glad for the medicine, etc. But surely there are better ways to do this.  Surely. 

She took the initial dose, has gone back to bed. Still feeling dreadful as she has for the last three weeks.  Getting sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I hope there's a point to all of this.  It's not fun.

Song of the day: "More About Jesus".  In mind upon waking, not sung or heard nearly enough in my opinion.
